This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Luk 11:28. Μενοῦνγε) The mother of One who teaches so well is pronounced ‘blessed:’ but in truth rather blessed are they who follow the Teacher. So μενοῦνγε, [Nay but, O man, etc.] Rom 9:20; Rom 10:18 [μενοῦνγε εἰς πάσαν τὴν γῆν, etc.: “Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth”].-οἱ ἀκούοντες, they who hear) including even that pious woman herself.-φυλάσσοντες, who keep it) viz. they who bear Christ and His word in their heart, as His mother had borne the Saviour Himself in her womb. [She however was one who herself also kept the word, being on that very account ‘blessed.’ Luk 1:45 (Luk 2:19).-V. g.]
